to see you smile over these crocheted cuties...


and to enjoy a nice quiet cup of tea while getting some xmas sewing done.


we've been snowed in most of the week here. well, snowed in may be a bit of an exaggeration, let's just say, we haven't been able to go out much due to the snow and our city trying really hard to deal with it (or not deal with it). i dislike snow. i might actually hate it. i don't like cold weather. in my daydreams i do. i dream that i can ski with the best of them (i'm scared of skiing due to being a klutz), sip hot cocoa by the fire gracefully (i always spill and have no fire), wear the most fabulous knit sweater and accessories (i look like a fluffy lamb), and sport that gorgeous fresh cheek glow (i get wind burn). so you see, snow and i don't get along. i slip, i fall, i get really cold and can't get warm again. i hate driving in it, i hate others driving in it. i hate cleaning off the car and warming up the engine. i hate wind chill and freezing rain. i will admit though that i love seeing my daughter love snow and won't take that away from her - i just let the hubs take her out in it instead. i also enjoy catching snowflakes on my tongue and making the odd snow angel and ok, getting in a snowball fight. unfortunately though, with all good comes some bad and with snow, well, i'm just done with the bad. i grew up in small town filled with a lot of snow for half the year and...yep, i'm done.

this week has been way more productive for me sewing wise. i got a few things finished and may just make my deadline for mail outs for handmade goodies. i'm crossing my fingers. i hope to get a lot more done this weekend, catch up with a good friend, cuddle up with the family and watch disney's "a christmas carol" with jim carrey, find my anne of green gables dvd, decide which stocking to make harper and work on the surprises i have coming for you all on the blog. what are you guys up to?

any of you have a love/hate relationship with snow? i hope i'm not the only one. fill me in on your plans? what are you making for xmas pressies this year? wishing you a fabulous, no snow filled weekend!
